The French Press

Had a cup of coffee ...a cup of some of the best coffee ive ever had in my life! These guys know EXACTLY what theyre doing. Very knowledgeable staff , friendly , hip(ster), and great atmosphere!

Thier chai tea is my favorite. Their chocolate drinks are the best in town - not too sweet with lots of depth. And the baked goods are always delicious, too many good ones to pick a favorite there.

Cute little coffee spot in downtown Santa Barbara. Their vanilla latte is my favorite. Simple, and not too sweet. And I'm a sucker for latte art !

Verve properly pulled on a La Marzocco. If you know what that means, you will definitely be happy here. If you don't, you'll still be happy if you're not looking for a frappuccino or caramel anything.

The French Press serves up some of the best drinks in California. Try the blueberry scone with your drink of choice, you will not regret it. Read more

The pourover coffee and iced chai teas are the way to go.

Their coffee rivals anything I've had around the world. When I'm in Santa Barbara, I always make it a point to stop.

My fav flavor of coffee & associated munchies in SB so far. Hip but hard to find a cozy spot . Perhaps that is necessary to keep the crowds moving. Love it always, esp to go!

Really nice coffe place in Santa Barbara ! Scones are delicious !

Good coffee joint onState street although the one on Anacappa is a bit more roomy with outdoor seating .

Cold brew was solid and I like the old skate decks on the walls

Bathroom password is 1101#! All the people who work here are beautiful and they make beautiful coffee .

Try the Gilbraltar - similar to cortado - perfect mix of espresso and milk art .

If you're looking for coffee , skip the chains and head here. Real coffee (so say coffee-drinking friends) and great design.

Greet espresso drinks . Decent baked goods . Wonderful place to work from.

Good espresso , coffees , teas and the usual jazz . Nice people.

Superb espresso and white coffee drinks here. Also the cinnamon bun was lovely.

2079, a great year, it is the year I will lose my virginity and happens to be the code to use the restroom .

Good coffee and pastries . Be prepared to spend at least $8 if you want a coffee and scone .

Scones are tasty! Especially the goat cheese fig and blueberry scones

Good pour over options. Baked goods were nice as well

More than decent coffee in a very central location.

Good coffee and the strawberry jam was superb

Gibraltar and shakerato = top notch expresso that you can't get many other places

When I have a late mornings, I like to enjoy a tri berry scone and double latte .
